Top issues during term (12)(Roads)
Traffic congestion and commuting in Bangor
No direct cost tonight; the plan positions the city for future federal implementation grants.
Traffic signal modernization (Mile Vision cameras)
The city's local share is just $28,778 of the $287,782 construction cost.
Downtown snow removal parking zones
Signs and outreach come out of existing Public Works budgets; no big new spending was discussed.
Street renamings: Pleasant View and Lilac Avenue
Mainly the cost of new street signs from Public Works.
Pickering Square garage long-term condition
About $640,000 in maintenance is planned over five years, with a larger replacement decision looming.
Citywide pavement markings refresh
$175K originally requested; $200K reallocation proposed to cover it.
Fleet telematics and dash cameras
$249,999 capital request, about $75K a year for three years, with a no-cost exit clause.
Road paving funding shortfall
Current spend is $1.5M a year; next year's ask could be up to $6M.
Community Connector bus barn and training center
Local share is 20%, with MaineDOT covering 10% (up to $1 million) and the rest already budgeted.
Odlin Road sidewalk construction
The city's share is $154,387.50, with the state grant covering the other half of the $308,775 total.
Pavement Removal for Street Trees
Pilots depend on finding spare funding; saw-cutting existing pavement islands is estimated as relatively inexpensive.
Federal transit funding at risk
Cuts of up to 50% to federal transit funding that the Community Connector relies on, especially for capital investment.
